GeoPlatform.gov, which is the national geospatial portal, provides several cultural heritage resources data sets. A lot of cultural heritage GIS applications were implemented all over the country. ARCHES, the open-source GIS developed by Getty Conservation Institute in cooperation with World Monuments Fund (Jan, 2018), (Myers et al, 2016), was applied applied for the first time in Los Angeles. Current situation: a) all levels of implementation, from local to national, b) GIS technology included within the national information infrastructure, c) GIS applications publicly available, d) main fields of application: cultural heritage resources management, inventory, archaeology, historic places and monuments, conservation, risk management.
